Rim Semiconductor selects TSMC independent chip fabricator to make product
Rim Semiconductor Company announced that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Inc. (TSMC) will manufacture its new Cupria 5001 transport processor. Rim Semi's Cupria 5001 will be produced at TSMC's Hsinchu Science Park location in Taiwan.Rim Semi has also selected a new development partner to assist with the transition of its technology to TSMC. This partner's services would supplement the work of Rim Semi's current development partner, HelloSoft of San Jose, California, and Hyderabad, India, and its own engineering staff at its design centres in Portland, Oregon and Kanata, Ontario, Canada.
"When a broadband chip becomes widely accepted, demand can easily outstrip the ability of a small foundry to supply product," stated Brad Ketch, CEO of Rim Semiconductor Company. "By engaging with TSMC, we believe that we have set in place the ability to effectively support volume growth."
